Lathe cabinet

Repurposed an old computer station that I was ready to throw out by putting casters on it and attaching an oldIKEA fold down table to it. Received the lathe last Xmas from my wife. I have a pretty small work area that I share with 2 cars,washing machine, dryer,and storage so that all my tools are on wheels. Placed retractable extension cords at the outlets so I wasn’t dictated to by short tool cords. Anyway.. thought I would share.Let me know what you guys think and ways to improve it. Thanks for looking.

I like it! I like the fold out table for extra surface too. I would add one more fold out to the right to hold “whatever” when I would be working on the lathe. Might as well add one to the left too! Can’t hurt.

Karen- Height is perfect. Added the casters which brought it to a comfortable height, I’m 5’9. Casters are 2” that I took off a dolly from Harbor Freight (cheaper than buying off the shelf ones there.. just a hint). Brings the height up to 32.5 inches then the lathe height brings it up another 12.5 inches at mid spindle. Hope that helps.
